About me

I'm a self-employed DevOps engineer with over 30 years of IT experience and more than 7 years of expertise at building and managing Kubernetes clusters. I'm passionate about Automation and GitOps and keeping infrastructure costs down through Autoscaling.I enjoy building platforms with and for the developers. I want the devs to be able to concentrate on building awesome apps without having to worry about the intrinsic challenges of running containers at scale. At the same time I love sharing knowledge and will always lend an open ear to discuss architectural possibilities and ways for building future proof applications
